The Teachings of Surak were translated into English by Skon.
Skon was a Vulcan, father of Sarek and forefather of Spock, native of the Vulcan city Shi'Kahr. He translated The Teachings of Surak into English. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights"). Skon's father, Solkar, was the first Vulcan ambassador to Earth. (ENT: "The Catwalk")
- In the film, Sarek's family line was given - the line states "Sarek, child of Skon, child of Solkar". This is normal for many cultures even on Earth - to list one's direct ancestors in this manner. Sarek is the child of Skon, who is the child of Solkar, and so on. Following the traditional Vulcan name nomenclature, Skon should be male, and thus, Sarek's father.
Apocrypha
